Do you ever feel like you've veered off course? Like maybe you took the wrong turn at a crossroads or that you were suppose to make a sharp left but kept going straight? That's how I've been feeling lately.

I've been reaching out to God to ask him to recalculate my directions - show me where I missed the turn and help me to get back on the right road.

These are the "towns" I've been traveling through on this road and I'm finally seeing that a DETOUR is required.

It's time to refocus and get back on the right road. Busy-ness has become a distraction from the basic things God has called me to do. I'm revamping my "to do" list and getting my focus back on what God, Himself, has instructed me to do. What good is it to work hard on things that weren't even my project to begin with?

How about you, friend? What road are you traveling down today? Are you lost? Wandering? Seeking something that you just can't seem to find? Call out to God today - He will direct and lead you to where He needs you to be.

Maybe it's time for us both to pull over to a rest stop and refuel with more time with our Father!

"Do you
see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these
veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip
down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic
sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this
race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where
he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up
with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there,
in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves
flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that
long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!" Hebrews 12:1-3 MSG
